We finally have fresh Thai basil! Huzzah! I am pretty gosh darn pleased. We ultimately had to buy a seedling from one of the producers down at the farmer's market. We just weren't making any progress starting from seed and I was dead set on having fresh Thai basil as my disposal. We also found one lone Thai basil growing the massive patch of Sweet and Genovese basil at the community garden. Oh, having that basil makes such a difference in the flavor of the Thai-inspired dishes. It adds a wonderful taste explosion to stir-fried meals that I would never have thought of on my own. Huzzah!
Life is interconnected and so are the topics on this blog. It might be cooking and gardening one day, yoga the next, knitting and sewing, or hiking and then bird watching followed by recycling or composting. They are the parts that bring humble joy to my life of voluntary simplicity in Montana.

OH that looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteWe pureed some up with a bit of oil to put in the freezer so we can enjoy it in the midst of winter, too. It makes such a taste explosion that I adore.
